Chapter 137 Blood Shadow Assassin
"This is----"
Zhao Qianyang's pupils contracted sharply, as if he had realized something, but it was too late.
The moment he entered the prison, his steps suddenly became incredibly heavy, as if his body was being pressed down by an invisible force, making it extremely difficult to move.
Even more terrifying was that his internal energy circulation became stagnant, as if it were blocked by something.
"The Prison-Suppressing Force?!"
"You cultivate the Eight Desolate Prison Suppressing Technique?!"
Zhao Qianyang screamed in terror.
"You only find out now? Too late!"
Chu Xuan sneered and strode forward, each step heavy as a mountain. The weight of the Prison Suppression Qi pressed deep footprints into the soil beneath his feet, and dark patterns spread forward with each step, like the iron bars of a prison advancing in the sunlight.
Zhao Qianyang gritted his teeth and thrust out his spear.
Silvery-white energy shot out from the tip of the spear, but under the suppression of the heaven-sealing and earth-locking technique, its speed was reduced by more than half.
Chu Xuan unleashed the Nine Heavenly Rocs beneath his feet, and with just a slight sidestep, he dodged Zhao Qianyang's deadly attack at an extremely tricky angle.
The next instant, a punch was thrown!
Eight Desolate Prison Suppression Force - Prison Collapse!
The Prison Suppression Qi, imbued with the combined power of seven bears and five tigers, struck Zhao Qianyang's chest like a black lightning bolt!
Zhao Qianyang quickly raised his gun to block!
Crunch!
In an instant, the gun barrel bent at an astonishing arc, made a sound of being unable to bear the weight, and then broke in two!
Chu Xuan's fist pierced through the broken gun barrel and slammed solidly into Zhao Qianyang's chest!
"Pfft~!"
Zhao Qianyang spat out a mouthful of blood, and his body flew several feet away again like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground.
He struggled to stand up, only to find a strange power within his body that had invaded his meridians and was frantically suppressing the flow of his internal energy. His internal energy surged left and right, but was firmly sealed by that dark aura and could not be mobilized at all!
"What a cunning brat!"
Zhao Qianyang was horrified.
Chu Xuan clearly cultivated the Eight Desolate Prison Suppressing Force, but he kept it hidden until this final moment when it finally erupted, delivering a fatal blow!
If Chu Xuan had revealed his cultivation technique at the start of the battle, even if the Prison Suppression Technique were as powerful and domineering as it is, it would not have been possible to lock him down so easily!
"I misjudged you! You actually mastered the Eight Desolations Suppressing Prison Technique!"
As Chu Xuan approached, Zhao Qianyang gritted his teeth and spoke, his voice filled with intense hatred and regret!
Chu Xuan is so young, and he can challenge someone who has just broken through to the Gang Jin realm. Looking at the entire outer sect of Xuan Yang Sect, he can be ranked among the top five on the Wind and Cloud Ranking!
However, this does not include the Eight Desolate Prison Suppression Technique!
The Eight Desolate Prison Suppression Technique is not rare, but as far as he knows, no one in the entire Xuan Yang Sect's outer sect, or even the inner sect, has successfully cultivated it!
With such talent, as long as he doesn't die young, he will surely soar to great heights in the future.
If he could befriend such a prodigy early on, he might be able to ride the wave of success alongside him.
However, when he thought of his deceased son Zhao Mingyu, he felt relieved!
Even if he hadn't bullied or oppressed Chu Xuan that day, the two were already destined to be enemies to the death before their first meeting!
"I hate it! I only regret that I didn't take action myself sooner and nip this treacherous brat in the bud!" Zhao Qianyang said through gritted teeth.
At this moment, he was filled with deep regret!
Even with the Blood Shadow Escape technique, a life-saving skill, his internal energy was completely sealed, making it impossible for him to use. He was like meat on a chopping board, at the mercy of Chu Xuan!
They capsized in the gutter!
It's all because that kid is too cunning!
"Are you done talking?"
Chu Xuan's voice was indifferent, "Then go and keep your two sons company! A family should be together all the time!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly stomped hard on Zhao Qianyang's chest, causing the chest to cave in completely.
"Ugh—"
Zhao Qianyang instinctively raised his head, glaring at Chu Xuan. His only remaining eye was bloodshot, and black blood mixed with rotten internal organs flowed from the corner of his mouth. Then he died on the spot!
"Finally dead!"
Chu Xuan stumbled and fell to the ground, gasping for breath, his clothes soaked with cold sweat.
Although the Heaven-Sealing and Earth-Locking Force of the Eight Desolations Prison-Suppressing Technique is powerful, the burden on him is beyond imagination. At this moment, his whole body is almost completely overdrawn!
Now they don't even have the strength to destroy the evidence.
This was undoubtedly the most dangerous battle he had ever faced since he began practicing martial arts.
Even with all sorts of methods, including sneak attacks and scheming, it was only then that Zhao Qianyang was killed.
If he had revealed his Eight Desolations Suppressing Prison Force from the beginning, even if he had launched a sneak attack first, he would probably have been left severely injured and forced to flee!
"Next, only Qian Yao is left!"
Chu Xuan took out a pill and quickly swallowed it to recover. After a moment of recuperation, he stood up and stomped on Zhao Qianyang's head until it was smashed.
After looting the corpse, he turned and quickly disappeared into the mountains and forests.
The fluctuations from their battle are so great that it won't be long before someone gets drawn to it.
As evening fell, Chu Xuan, under the setting sun, finally returned to the outer gate of the Xuan Yang Sect.
After handing over the mission at the mission hall, he went straight back to his residence in Beast Garden No. 9.
After entering the house and closing the door, Chu Xuan's tense nerves finally relaxed completely.
Within the Xuan Yang Sect, even among the outer disciples, few would dare to make a move here. Moreover, the Hundred Beast Garden is located at the foot of Beast Taming Peak, so no one would dare to act recklessly.
Then, Chu Xuan began to take stock of his gains. The moment he opened the package, all his fatigue vanished.
"We've struck it rich!"
Chu Xuan was thrilled.
Although this mission had some twists and turns, the gains were enormous.
The gold notes alone amounted to more than 50,000 taels.
Thirty thousand taels of the money was exchanged for the stolen goods belonging to the Gao family, while the other twenty thousand taels were found in Gao Zhenshan's belongings.
In addition, there was a century-old ginseng given to me by Liu Ru, as well as a manual on Gang Jin (罡劲) techniques.
The value of this Gang Jin technique alone surpasses all of the previous ones.
Unfortunately, he didn't get anything of value from Zhao Qianyang, only a few hundred contribution points!
"You bastard, you didn't even bring your cultivation manual with you! You deserve to die!"
Chu Xuan cursed under his breath, feeling much more relaxed.
Finally, we've removed Zhao Qianyang, that thorn in our side!
In addition, it also harvested a considerable amount of essence value.
The next moment, Chu Xuan opened the panel.
[Slaying a martial artist at the Transformation Realm grants +335 Essence Points]
[Slaying a martial artist at the Transformation Realm grants +328 Essence Points]
[Slaying a Qi Refining martial artist, Essence Value +1023]
A series of messages popped up.
[Energy Value: 7193/10000]
"Good heavens!"
Chu Xuan couldn't help but exclaim inwardly.
Although this trip wasn't long, my essence value increased by more than three thousand!
Chu Xuan finally picked up the piece of iron and, with some anticipation, infused it with a wisp of pale golden energy. Sure enough, the patterns on it twisted and recombine, radiating golden light.
The dense text emerged in the light.
Chu Xuan quickly memorized these words.
Soon, information appeared on the panel.
【Blood Shadow Assassin (0/10000)】
It was clearly a secret technique of internal energy!
Blood Shadow Thrust uses one's own blood essence as a guide, condensing spiritual power into an invisible shadow thorn that silently pierces the opponent's soul.
The stab struck, and the soul felt as if it had been pierced by needles, the pain piercing to the bone.
In severe cases, it can lead to mental confusion and turn one into a mentally impaired, living corpse.
This Blood Shadow Thrust is even more unpredictable and harder to defend against than the Tiger Roar Thunder Sound!
Of course, the downside is that it cannot be used as a regular method.
Essence blood is not ordinary blood; once it is depleted, it is very difficult to replenish.
"It's a mental attack technique! What a great item! It could be a trump card!"
Chu Xuan said with great pleasure.
This secret technique clearly originated from the Blood God Cult, but it is not an evil method.
Even if Chu Xuan were to use it and it were discovered, he wouldn't be branded as a member of the Blood God Cult. This was naturally a good thing for him.
After tidying up everything, Chu Xuan lay down on the bed and fell asleep immediately.
After several days of mental stress, I can finally get a good night's sleep.
Meanwhile, at Zoo No. 5.
At this moment, Qian Yao was enjoying a cup of tea in his residence, playing with a jade gourd about the size of a thumb in his hand.
Actually, he wasn't seriously injured despite failing the inner sect assessment.
But Su Chunfeng and the other man were both dead. If he hadn't even been injured, that would be too much to believe.
Even a fool could tell there was something fishy going on.
Even though he pretended to be severely injured and carried Su Chunfeng's corpse back, he is now being questioned by the other animal park supervisors—
He was ostracized, and everyone avoided him like the plague.
"A bunch of short-sighted good-for-nothings, do you think you're worthy to look down on me?" Qian Yao couldn't help but sneer as he thought of the disdainful looks the other supervisors gave him.
The Qian family has already spent a lot of money to find an elder from the Beast Taming Peak.
Once Chu Xuan's death is confirmed, the other party will plead for him to take over the three beast farms under Chu Xuan's control, and perhaps even one of the beast farms managed by Su Chunfeng and Zhang Yan.
A manager who owns five or six beast farms is much more comfortable than an ordinary inner disciple!
Although inner disciples have a prestigious status, far surpassing that of outer disciples, most inner disciples still end up as stepping stones at the bottom after entering the inner sect.
Just like Zhao Qianyang, after wasting several years, he could only end up as a steward in the outer sect.
His goal was not just to enter the inner sect, but to become one of the best inner sect disciples like Tong Hao. Therefore, he decided to take his time and think things through.
Even though he was confident he could pass the inner sect assessment, he still chose to give up!
That's Qian Yao's foresight!
How could those short-sighted fellows in the other beast gardens, who only think about entering the inner sect, compare to them!
"You really think the inner sect is paradise? Once you enter the inner sect, you'll find that you're still just cattle and horses!" Qian Yao said with a hint of schadenfreude.
Judging by the days, Chu Xuan should have been gone for a few days now!
So much time has passed, Zhao Qianyang and his companion should have succeeded by now.
"Brother Qian!"
Just then, an outer disciple rushed back and said, "Chu Xuan is back!"
"What?"
Qian Yao jumped to his feet, exclaiming in disbelief, "Chu Xuan? He's back? How is this possible?! Are you sure it's Chu Xuan?"
"Sure!"
The outer disciple said, "It's definitely him! I saw him go to the mission hall to hand over the mission with my own eyes."
Qian Yao's face immediately turned extremely ugly.
How could Chu Xuan possibly come back?
Could it be that Zhao Qianyang failed to intercept Chu Xuan? That's impossible!
With Guo Chunlai tipping Zhao Qianyang off, how could he possibly miss it?
"What's wrong with those two good-for-nothings? They can't even handle this simple task!" Qian Yao gritted his teeth. "Has Guo Chunlai returned yet?"
"not yet!"
Where is Zhao Qianyang?
"No, not at all!"
Qian Yao fell silent, his fingers tapping unconsciously on the table as he frowned in thought.
Guo Chunlai didn't return, and neither did Zhao Qianyang. Could this kid really be that lucky to have escaped like this, or is it that—
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Qian Yao suddenly stood up and shouted excitedly.
Although Guo Chunlai's strength was average, he was best at tracking, and being so far away from Chu Xuan, he was impossible to detect! Zhao Qianyang, on the other hand, had the strength of a minor master of the Gang Jin technique!
If both of them were to die at Chu Xuan's hands, how strong would Chu Xuan be?
It's probably enough to put it in the top five of the popularity charts!
Thinking of this, Qian Yao grinned. He had actually been scared by his own thoughts just now.
"Go keep an eye on Guo Chunlai's residence. When he returns, tell him to come see me immediately!" Qian Yao waved the outer disciple away, intending to ask Guo Chunlai what had happened when he returned.
However, Guo Chunlai did not return for the next two days, nor did Zhao Qianyang!
However, news came from outside that someone had discovered a corpse and Zhao Qianyang's broken spear in the mountains twenty miles away from the sect!
Xuan Yang Sect has confirmed that Zhao Qianyang is dead!
Qian Yao's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally died!
